The moment Duobao's calm words were spoken.

It immediately attracted the attention of all living beings present.

In their respective gazes.

They all simultaneously released an expression of utter astonishment.

What does "Duobao" mean?

"Does he want to preach directly?"

What kind of logic is that?

"The ways of the world and the teachings of Buddhism both rely on one's own sudden enlightenment."

The Buddha said, "The Buddha does not let Six-Eared Macaque hear the Dharma," meaning that Buddhist teachings should not be heard by just anyone.

"After all, the Dharma is invaluable."

"But Duobao actually intends to preach in public?"

"Could it be that Duobao intends to emulate the Sage?!"

"Heh, does he think we like listening to his Buddhist teachings?"

"If you don't want to listen, so be it! What's so surprising about that?"

The followers of the Western Teachings, regarding the Buddhist teachings that Duobao was about to expound.

I found it utterly distasteful.

After all.

They were, after all, disciples of Sage who specialized in Buddhism.

Even though Duobao just made some remarks.

This gave many disciples a sense of enlightenment.

But that's all.

It's simply not worthy of serious consideration.

Moreover...

Duobao was merely a disciple of Sage.

They're just like any other generation.

What right do they have to instruct these creatures?

It's not just Western Teachings who think this way.

Standing in the void.

The three Fazhu at Duobao from Duobao.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Duobao.

A strange look flashed across his face.

Duobao did not directly answer their questions.

But they must preach publicly.

What does this mean?

It's a bit puzzling.

He actually believed that what he was saying was the Dharma.

It can help them understand.

After all, they were Human Sect.

If the Dharma taught by Duobao is not as good as the Dharma taught by the Sage.

Then he's utterly worthless.

It will only make you look foolish.

If the Dharma taught by Duobao is even better than that of the Sage...

That's impossible!

After this thought flashed through the minds of the three of them Fazhu and his companions...

He immediately dismissed the idea.

Duobao is not Sage yet.

He was merely a Quasi-Saint level expert.

Even if one is well-versed in Buddhism.

They can't possibly compare to the two Sages of Western Teachings!

If only we could have such a spirit of Buddhism.

Wouldn't that Duobao could also obtain the Human Dao?

Thinking this in my heart,

Fazhu, however, did not utter any sarcastic remarks.

It was just a surge of excitement that had just arisen in my heart.

It faded considerably at this moment.

A hint of rationality appeared in his gaze as he looked at Duobao.

He clasped his hands together in prayer and said to Duobao.

"Fellow Daoist, are you really going to tell me?"

"Why don't we discuss this privately, between you and me?"

"That way, you'll look better."

"If your interpretation of Buddhism is substandard, you will only lose face."

His words have been made very clear.

They basically do not agree with the Buddhist teachings that Duobao wants to convey.

I think Duobao is going to embarrass himself.

And that's what he said.

They also wanted to sell Duobao a popular snack brand) for a small profit.

Pity.

Duobao was very confident in the Buddhist teachings he had come to understand.

He clasped his hands together in Fazhu.

He remained calm and composed.

He said in a calm tone.

"There's no need for you to trouble yourself, fellow Daoist."

"The Dharma I am expounding is Mahayana Buddhadharma!"

"I am confident that I surpass your Western Hinayana Buddhist Dharma!"

Look at Duobao's confident appearance.

Fazhu's expression changed.

Ultimately, I gave up.

He made a gesture of invitation.

Then he walked towards Duobao's path.

"Fellow Daoist, please make yourself at home."

We won't keep you company any longer.

Fazhu suppressed the sudden realization that had been surfacing in his mind.

Reason took over his mind.

I feel utterly disgusted by my irrational behavior just now.

It was all because of a chance encounter.

They were about to renounce Western Teachings.

That's really a joke.

A bitter expression played on Fazhu's lips.

He nodded toward the Tianzhu and Dizhu beside him.

With a flash, he descended towards Mount Sumeru, the Western Ancestral Vein.

Obviously.

They were not interested in Duobao's sermons on Buddhism.

He does not believe that his teachings on Buddhism can surpass those of the Two Sages of the West.

The other Western Teachings disciples also dispersed, because they had also figured it out.

Duobao came here to preach the Dharma, not to fight them.

If they wanted to take action, they probably would have done it already.

Since it's a discussion about principles, then they have nothing to fear.

And this was just as almost all Western Teachings disciples...

When no one thought Duobao could offer any good advice.

Duobao spoke up.

"Thus have I heard. When Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress."

"Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this."

"Shariputra, all dharmas are empty in nature; they are neither produced nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing."

Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, no perception, no mental formations, no consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or dharma; no eye-consciousness, and so forth, up to no mind-consciousness.

"..."

This is the Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra).

"That's only a small portion."

"Anyone who joins my Buddhism will receive all parts of the Heart Sutra."

"Those who cultivate this Heart Sutra can dispel all delusions and eradicate all evil thoughts."

"May you truly enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, break through delusion and awaken to enlightenment, be free from all suffering, and thus attain Buddhahood."

"It is one of the fundamental teachings upon which Buddhism was founded."

"Reciting Buddhist scriptures like these daily can calm the mind and help one break through spiritual barriers."

"If Buddhism also had a myriad of doctrines, for all believers to diligently recite."

Duobao's words were like thunder.

All the Western Teachings disciples who wanted to leave suddenly felt a jolt in their eyes.

Then he suddenly turned around.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Duobao was filled with trembling!

Many of the Western Teachings were born with intelligence.

They even stopped in their tracks.

He stared at Duobao with an incredulous expression.

Within their respective souls.

A look of surprise flashed across his face.

They didn't expect that.

From Duobao's mouth.

He was able to recite such astonishing Buddhist scriptures.

As long as they are not foolish Buddhist disciples.

These are all derived from the Buddhist scriptures as elaborated by Duobao.

I sensed an astonishing Buddhist aura.

What is most shocking is...

When their gazes focused on Duobao.

Each time Duobao uttered the word "Dao".

It can then form a visible Sanskrit character in the air.

These Sanskrit characters exude an astonishing aura.

It seems to be the mystery of Buddha that has existed since time immemorial.

Floating in the air.

Then it condensed into visible ripples.

It enveloped the entire West!

In an instant.

Some Buddhas even sat cross-legged in meditation.

I don't care what I thought before anymore.

At this moment, to have a sudden enlightenment of the Dharma is more important than anything else.

Other Western Teachings disciples who did not have much faith in Duobao's teachings on Buddhism.

I also felt my face was burning.

It's even a bit embarrassing.

They were so... ignorant before!

Even though we cannot now explore how profound the Buddhist scriptures as explained by Duobao are.

Is it more profound than the Buddhist teachings of Western Sage?

However, from the Buddhist teachings of Duobao...

Then you will understand.

The essence of the Dharma as taught by Duobao surpasses the Dharma they have come to understand.

That's way too much!

It wasn't just many monks who were captivated by Duobao's Buddhist scriptures.

Even the three who had just withdrawn from the void —Fazhu, Dizhu, and Tianzhu— were affected.

After listening to Duobao's sermon.

They all stared wide-eyed.

In his eyes.

A look of surprise flashed across his face!

"This Buddhist teaching..."

"They seem to be much more powerful than we imagined!"

"That feeling of sudden enlightenment welled up inside me again!"

"What on earth is going on!?"

"An outsider, Jie Sect Disciple who joined the sect later in life, actually managed to master such profound and mysterious Buddhist scriptures!?"

How did you do that!?

Fazhu was filled with horror!

Although reason kept telling him...

Tell him not to listen to Duobao's Buddhist scriptures.

But.

A sense of enlightenment in my heart.

But it made him uncontrollably sit down cross-legged.

"No!"

No! Don't listen to... I...

"This Buddhist teaching... there's something fishy about it!"

But.

Despite Fazhu constantly reminding himself of this.

Stop listening.

But.

But his body slumped down uncontrollably.

Immediately.

They were immersed in the profound mysteries of Buddhism as explained by Duobao.

They listened with complete absorption.

On the body.

Even more astonishing golden ripples appeared!

These ripples.

It is formed from the Buddhist principles in one's heart.

Absolutely pure.

It seemed to come from the heart!

At this moment, Fazhu, including Dizhu and Tianzhu sitting beside him.

He had completely lost the backbone he had shown earlier.

On the surface, they resisted, but inwardly they were overjoyed.

In an instant.

The entire Western Teachings.

They were all immersed in the Buddhist teachings expounded by Duobao!

I'm hopelessly addicted!

He sat cross-legged in the void.

Looking at the peaceful scene before me.

Within those eyes, where golden light converged...

A look of compassion flashed across his face!

This time.

He is determined to convert all these Buddhist friends who have not seen the true Buddha.

Take it to the East!

In this way.

Only then can they be completely freed.

Escape from this sea of suffering forever!
